I was the last remaining top 20 witness and hung at the 20th spot for a while. At that point it was absolutely pointless to continue and I moved to 28 fairly quickly as more power was given to Justin's bots.
While I wanted to prevent them from doing a fork for at least the 13 weeks, it was impossible and my attention was better served on Hive.
The irony of referring to real Steemians gave me a giggle.
Thanks! I appreciate the clarification. But didn't blocktrades and some others stopped their witness before being booted out of the top 20 spots?
Many did yes.
